The Tunisian P-38

OK, sourced a satellite image, it's not brilliant,and not my primary source, but I seem unable, for some strange reason, to pull and Defence imagery :) but the map extent is about 5 miles. you'll get an idea of the scale, from the railway tracks. The image will blow up to a good extent, there are definiitely 2 areas of interest. Both Youk les bains and a small prtion of Thelepte are on the photo

Having done a bit more research, the P-38 is not the only thing up there. The USAAF abandoned 12 Spits at one point, and some of the fiercest air battles of the North African campaign were fought over the region, so, who knows?
